Calliope listened to Zelda's words, a soft chuckle escaping her lips.
"Do you really trust Lisette that much?"
"Yes, Lisette would never lie to me. She never has.
Calliope, I know you better than anyone. You're just jealous of the way we treat Lisette, and you're taking it out on her.
You need to have Silas take down that sign, apologize to Lisette and admit to everyone that this was your fault! Or else, I'm done with you as my daughter!"
Zelda's tone left no room for argument.
"As if you ever truly saw me as your daughter," Calliope smiled lightly. "Go ahead, disown me. Last time I checked, being your daughter doesn't come with a trust fund."
With a decisive click, Calliope ended the call.
Sitting on her living room couch, Zelda stared at her phone in disbelief. Her chest heaved with indignation, feeling like she was about to explode from anger.
"This is outrageous! How can she be so ill-mannered! If we hadn't done a DNA test, I might've doubted she's my biological daughter."
Zelda's face was a stormy shade of red as she took a few deep breaths.
The housekeeper, who had been observing Zelda from a respectful distance, spoke gently, "Ma'am, maybe you should have a heart-to-heart with Callie. After all, mothers and daughters should try to get along."
"I gave her the chance to get along, but did she take it?"
It was unfortunate that she didn’t have the standing to change anything. Callie had even asked her not to intervene, fearing she might lose her job.
She truly felt for Callie. Despite everything, Callie was kind to everyone, even the staff, unlike Lisette, who wore a façade of sweetness while acting harshly behind the scenes.
It was a pity that nobody in the Jewell family realized how wonderful Callie truly was.
The housekeeper sighed and returned to her chores, keeping her thoughts to herself.
Lisette descended the stairs, her face a picture of distress. Tears brimming in her eyes, she looked at Zelda.
"Mom, did you talk to Callie? I don't understand why she has it out for me. I only wanted to discuss some business with Mr. Myers, but Callie seems determined to embarrass me. And it’s not just my reputation at stake; it’s the reputation of our entire family."

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
